Please don't let him stop sharing. I can listen forever.

[@ThairishTimes]

Good to know Linda thanks

[@PaulWalliswriter]

Ah forever .... alas all I can offer is 5 episodes to leave my imprint in ones and zeros. If my shtories offer amusement and inspiration, I'll die a happy chappy! May you have a wonderful life Linda!

[@PaulWalliswriter]

I would like to add that I kept my word to my mother-in-law, her daughter wants for nothing and I put my kids thru uni. I have financially supported my dear mother in law (Mae Geaw) ever since we met, which I am proud of. In fairness to her, she has never asked anything from me, other than that that I pledged. Don't start a gofundme guys!! I have a nice car, a fast bike and everything I could possibly need. Should I ever decide to return to society, the teeth will be sorted. Peace and love to all (even the guy who called me a thief!)

[@TheNicholaas]

Great stuff paul.a true & stand up man.hope to hear more stories of your life.very interesting.ive been here 10 years and still love thailand & the people.lucky & grateful.keep it rollin

[@destinationsroadslesstraveled]

I understand you like your privacy and I totally understand that Paul. Please contact me via my KZbin channel if you wish I would like to talk to you sometime as I feel we have had somewhat parallel lives. It seems as if you really followed your bliss and learned from it. You really followed the road less traveled I admire you a great deal for that.

[@Mozzermarr10]

Paul, I want to read your future book of "stories from Thailand".

[@PaulWalliswriter]

@@destinationsroadslesstraveled Thanks Sir. I shall check out your channel and be in touch. Peace and love!

[@glentiller349]

My Mother in Law is very similar to Mae Geaw. So grateful for the support we give her and never pushes for more. Good to see the positives being represented.

[@ianwedgbury8523]

Fascinating guy. I could listen to him for hours.

[@ParresCraftMusic]

Best Thailand interview I’ve seen. This guy is a legend

[@ThairishTimes]

He is indeed. Glad you liked it

[@kensanders0088]

My Thai Mother-in-law and myself had about same conversation, I promised to take care of her and her daughter for all wants, 12 years ago. Still going strong, My Thai wife returned to USA, (with green card), and eventually took USA citizenship and naturalization tests and is now USA citizen also. We are back in Thailand on our little farm.

[@JoseSanchez-mk1ed]

Chaperoning a group of elderly western teachers to male strip clubs and snooker bars in Patpong while getting liquored up has got to be one of the funniest and most bizarre stories I've heard from Thailand. Another great Interview!

@@ThairishTimes Good interview style too. He let's the guy say what he wants to say. Sometimes they address the question, sometimes they don't... doesn't matter. The fact that they're not being badgered or upstaged allows them to be frank.

[@PaulWalliswriter]

Alas I fear no good will come of extended watching of yours truly. I managed a minute of the first one and that was enough to convince me never to subject myself to that again, ever! Get out while you can!

[@TS-vp7ep]

Love that he emphasised again in the end that Thai's education system needs change, its been long overdue.

[@PaulWalliswriter]

It has, yet the Thai people are extremely resilient and they live in the land of the plenty. These beautiful and spiritual souls are a reflection of what Buddhism is all about. They deal with floods like its nothing and during the economic crash, CEOs sold som tam on the street. I have no fears for the survival of the Thai culture, it's too strong. They have never been colonised. Peace & love
